I did this picture the week of Sept. 11, 2001, before Poser, Bryce and Vue were programs
I could work with any skill, I saved it to disc and came across it this week while looking
for something else.....
Sept.11,2001 Memories
My older son was a police officer
in the precinct where the towers stood,he would be a first responder,
my husband was working in the city just several blocks from the towers.
Upon first hearing about the planes hitting the towers,and going down,
looking toward Manhattan, one could see the smoke billowing. Hearing that the Pentagon was also hit,
and the endless, unfounded rumers, that numerous planes were missing,
It was like being in a grade B movie, and I wondered how it was going to end.
People mulled about in the street, everyone worried about loved ones,
most of the time the phones weren`t working,
the phone system had become sooo overcrowded, the anxiety level was at a fever pitch.
First, worried about my son, he would be amoung the first rescue workers to go in,
oh the long wait till the call came "he was alright", hubby`s call came in next
and he was fine too.
Then came thoughts of friends who worked in and about the towers,
the evening was filled with phone calls, everyone was calling everyone else, to make sure
friends and family were alright.
Staten Island had sent Rescue Squad #5, the entire Squad, all but 1, was lost that day.
Weeks that followed were filled with watching funeral processions go by,
and crosses on street corners strewn with flowers, lit candles and pictures of
loved ones who had been lost. Days were filled with everyone trying to help
folks who had lost loved ones, and the men worked after work at the site, trying to find anyone
who might have survived, and then finally just to find anyone period.
A special innocence and invulnerability was lost that day..........
So how do we honor the fallen, those who simply went to work that morning, and never returned........
I donno... Someone on TV said that on this day,to honor them,
we should all take the time to perform a random act of kindness.............................................

Wonderful tribute, and beautifully written Hazel I was in Malaysia at the time of the attack... All day I was hearing horns honking and celebratory cheers.. I thought it was some Muslim celebration until my husband came home and told me what had happened (I dont speak the Malay language so day TV was useless) I was totally disgusted and felt sick to the pit of my stomach when I found out what all the cheering was about..

I can't imagine the courage of these fine people. During and after the event their devotion to duty was, and is truly inspirational. Fine Tribute.

After reading your story I am in tears! I can only wish that the several "bad vibes" I've seen posted, will also read this and think twice about their harsh words. No one can guess the frightening feelings you must have went through and the profound sense of loss and dispare that hit our country that day. You have made a wonderful tribute and reminder and I thank you!
